This week on Mom Means Business, we’re diving deep into the world of modern childcare, entrepreneurship, and the power of showing up — with heart. 💛

Team Huddle – We kick things off with a real mom-to-mom chat about what summer really looks like when you’re juggling work, household logistics, and childcare. From the underestimated role of nannies to the influence of teachers, caregivers, and personal assistants — we’re unpacking the village it takes to raise a family (and run a business!).

Vibe Check – It’s all about presence. Carson shares how grounding herself in “the now” fuels her leadership, her team, and her ability to serve families with intentionality and care.

Agenda Items – Meet Carson: behavioral therapist turned founder of Lifetime of Love Nannies. She shares her journey of building a purpose-driven nanny agency that provides inclusive, consistent, and highly qualified care for families — no matter their background or needs.

Industry Intel – We get real about the business of caregiving: paying nannies as W2 employees, building a professional pipeline of caregivers, and offering real benefits and stability in a field that’s often undervalued.

This episode is a must-listen for parents, entrepreneurs, and anyone passionate about elevating the standards of childcare with integrity and love. Reach out to us at mommeansbusinesspodcast@gmail.com.

This week on the Mom Means Business podcast, we’re kicking off our team meeting with sliding minivan doors and big dreams — yep, we’re talking Honda Odysseys, carpool convos, and how this week’s guest, Kelsey Cook, turned everyday parenting moments into a thriving educational business.

Team Huddle – Meet Kelsey Cook, certified teacher, mom of four, and founder of Learning with Kelsey — the subscription box making early learning at home easier, more fun, and way more doable. From her love of systems to her community of moms, she’s a mompreneur who gets it.

Vibe Check – We talk about slowing down, finding presence in parenting, and the little moments that led Kelsey to ask: How can I make learning more joyful, less stressful, and actually fit into real life?

Agenda Items – Kelsey shares how Learning with Kelsey was born: pre-planned, hands-on educational activity boxes designed for toddlers through kindergarteners. We discuss how she built a heart-centered brand, the real challenges of balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship, and why connection through learning matters more than ever.

Industry Intel – We wrap with some behind-the-scenes business talk — tariffs, product-based small business challenges.

Whether you're a busy parent, an early childhood educator, or a fellow small business owner, this episode is packed with practical tips, inspiration, and laughs.
